What makes a great photo
- A close-up where the face fills most of the frame.
- Natural daylight, with no harsh flash or heavy shadows.
- Taken at eye level, looking towards the camera.
- Sharp and in focus. A good phone photo is plenty.

Framing & sizing
Why we sell our prints unframed
Most of our prints ship unframed, so you can choose a frame you love rather than pay for one you'd swap out.
- Pick your own look. Match the frame to your room, oak, black or white wood, or a mounted gallery style.
- Don't pay twice. A frame you didn't choose often gets replaced. Unframed keeps the cost on the artwork.
- Ships flat and safe. A flat-packed print travels far better than glass.
Prefer it ready to hang? Add a fitted black, white or natural wood frame at the size step above.
Choosing a frame that fits
Our prints come in three standard sizes, so an off-the-shelf frame is easy to find:
- 21 × 29.7 cm (A4) — fits any standard A4 frame.
- 30 × 40 cm — a common ready-made frame size.
- 45 × 60 cm — a popular large size, also widely sold ready-made.
Two easy ways to frame it:
- Frame to size. Buy a frame in the exact size above, no mount needed.
- Use a mount (mat). Choose a slightly larger frame with a mount cut to your print size, for a gallery look with a border.
Tip: check the frame's artwork opening (not its outer size), and look for a real glass or acrylic front.
How it'll look on your wall
Here's how the three sizes compare against a standard three-seat sofa (about 2 m wide) and an adult, for scale:
Above a sofa or sideboard, most people choose 30 × 40 or 45 × 60 cm. For a shelf or a gallery wall of several prints, A4 works well.
About this print
California has a way of making everything feel warm and unhurried, and that's exactly what this print holds onto. Your favourite photo is reimagined in a soft, sun-drenched watercolour style: warm pinks, peaches and gentle pastels that give the scene the kind of light that only stays for a moment.
It's an artist-reimagined digital watercolour, made from a photo you choose and printed on premium paper. The style suits portraits of two people beautifully, a couple, close friends, a moment from a trip worth framing. It works equally well as a Valentine's gift, an anniversary keepsake or something thoughtful for someone with very particular taste.
Before anything prints, you'll receive a free digital proof to review. Nothing goes to production until you're happy with how it looks. The finished piece is exactly what you pictured.
- Three sizes: 21×29.7cm, 30×40cm and 45×60cm
- Optional solid wood frame in Black, White or Natural (+£30), arrives ready to hang
- Prices from £34.95 to £94.95; delivered in days
Frequently asked questions
What photo works best for the Californian style?
Portraits with a clear subject tend to work best, a couple, close friends or a solo portrait. Good natural light and a reasonably sharp image give the artist the best material to work with. If you're unsure about your photo, the free digital proof will show you exactly how it looks before anything prints.
Is this print hand-painted?
No, and we're upfront about that. It's an artist-reimagined digital watercolour, painted in a warm Californian pastel style and printed on premium paper. The free digital proof means you see the finished artwork before we print it.
Can I add a wood frame?
Yes. All three sizes are available with a solid wood frame in Black, White or Natural for an additional £30. The framed print arrives ready to hang.
How long does delivery take?
Once you've approved your free digital proof, your print is produced and delivered in days. Exact timings depend on your location, and we'll confirm an estimated delivery window at checkout.
What if I don't like the proof?
Then we change it. The proof stage is there so you can ask for tweaks to the colours, the background or the likeness, and we'll keep revising until you're happy. Nothing goes to print until you approve it.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Because every print is made to order from your photo, we can't accept returns for a change of mind. You approve a free digital proof before we print anything, so there are no surprises. And if a print arrives damaged or not as approved, we'll put it right straight away.
